Topic: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? - page 23. (Read 4691 times)

There are times that we're in good mood and upon hearing some of those people, they're irritating and even if you don't want to get stressed out by them.

You have to do something for them to stop doing that because it's likely that it's not the first time that they're doing that kind of gossiping of what others are doing and then, having some feedback that's unnecessary and odd and they'll make you hear it out.

I don't think that it's criticism, someone who just happen to see you gamble and yet they've got some reactions and feedback that are unnecessary.

They criticize you if they have seen you do something wrong and you're harming other people but no you don't. There are people that just want to get into the lives of others without even thinking to fix their lives first.

Anyone who gambles has their own reason for gambling, which still depends on their own way of life. So I see no reason why you will have to hide what you are doing with your life because no one is in a position to stop you from doing what you do as a source of life and survival. That is why you are a human being, so even if you are a gambler and you think some of the people around you look at you in a negative way, you just have to reduce or cut off entirely with them; if not, they will not allow you to concentrate. But if you keep staying with them, their actions toward you will start making you insecure, and you might get some health issues that will affect you. If you feel like you cannot do without them, then you just have to choose between your own life and other people's lives. That is just the truth because you can never certify people in this life.

people who does not participate in gambling do not think the way you are thinking so basically if they are making mockery at you I believe that they might directly or indirectly discourage you not to participate in gambling that is why even for the environment you find yourself you need to make sure that you protect yourself and to also not to review yourself to people concerning your activity in the gambling but myself I believe that Keeping a Secret in gambling matters a lot so as a new Gambler or old gambler you don't need to be open every time in gambling people that you know that criticize you

I think that all depends on the type of gambling environment the person belongs because in a community or society where gambling is seen as something legit the need to be secretive with his gambling won't count at all because all what he would be thinking is how things are gonna turn up fine for him rather than doing the latter.

Many people have told themselves that they shouldn't listen to what other people tell them, they shouldn't listen to other people's criticisms because other people don't pay their bills. So you shouldn't criticize him. This thought even makes sense, but people also need to take into consideration that criticism means that the people who are criticizing you are paying attention to you, they are paying attention to the things you are doing. So you need to stop and think about why they are criticizing you and where your mistake is. sit down and criticize yourself and then analyze what you are doing with your life and whether you are really correct or not

for example, a person who keeps posting photos of himself playing in a casino every day and then people start commenting on his photos, criticizing that he should moderate his gambling because by continuing on this path he will destroy himself a lot and it could be that the The damage to his life is too great to the point where there is no longer any salvation. So this person who keeps posting photos of casinos every day should stop and sit down and think about why exactly people are criticizing him, is it really ok to keep playing every day?

So that person should go to his relatives and ask them questions about what they really think of his recent behavior, ask his relatives and friends to be honest in their answers and after also listening to criticism from his relatives and friends. stop playing for a while and then see what has really changed in his life and whether all other people will continue to criticize him or whether they will be praising him, by this I mean that we have to know how to listen to people who criticize and not act with anger and arrogance when they criticize us , because criticism often serves to improve ourselves

For me it is very understanding that no gambling person that we have a good record to someone who is not a gambler that is why whenever you are gambling you should not let people that does not gamble to know that you are example of because when they notice that you are a gambler some of them may use it against you and also dislike you so I don't know for some patience but I've seen many people that dislike their friends because then see that the person is a gambler so for me gambling is not a bad thing but we should gamble with understanding knowing that it has effect and then when you basically know the effect of gambling you should do not be a victim of  it, so that is why we need to understand very well the functionality of gambling before we entered  into it

Gambling is not wrong, that means it's useless to worry about what people say regarding my gambling habit. It's a matter of personal perspectives from non gamblers who see gambling as something wrong. However, when they tend to criticize a player it'll be right for the gambler to have a conversation with the critic to understand why he's still thinking of gamblers as irresponsible. Gone are the days when people reasoned of gamblers in such a manner. Hence, it's crucial that the critic learns something new after the conversation with the gambler.

Some of them also wants to become gamblers but are afraid of joining the niche. Due to negative things they've heard about gambling. Although, such thoughts doesn't help enough in stopping people from gambling. Nobody cares about those critics and their wrong perspectives. Once a gambler is not compulsive he's fine and is not meant to bother about what people would say about him. Sometimes close friends would be surprised to learn about our involvement in gambling yet it's not a big deal to bother or worry about. Addiction is the only thing a player should avoid not being a victim.

Dont make yourself get stressed out just because you've been hearing out others comments and those bashes and those curses or whatsoever words that coming out from their mouths and just like on what you have
said that we dont owe them something or they arent the ones who are spending up the money on whatever the things that we've been dealing with not only on just on gambling but also in other aspects in life as well.
They dont have the rights on the things that we are really that doing and its true that it would really be better that we should really be focusing on what we do love to do and dont mind other peoples words.

Gamble for fun and dont make yourself that getting out of those limitations specially when it comes to money. Dont let other people laugh at you just because you have made yourself that getting wrecked because of gambling. This is why you should really be that responsible on the actions that you are making and wont really be tending to mess up your life just because on the things that you've been
excessively dealing with.

It's best to ignore them.

It is not going to bother them whether we gamble or not because that's nothing to them and they owe us nothing with whatever we're spending on it.

People nowadays like to meddle and know everything other people's do but they don't focus on their own welfare. But instead, they like to ask things that are quite funny even it's no longer their boundary.

I think it depends on the person themselves whether they will care or not about whatever is said by others regarding themselves being involved in gambling, if for example they are one of those people who are easily provoked or easily disturbed by anything, especially criticism from some people who come maybe yes, obviously they will feel disturbed and this is sometimes we are often advised to hide our gambling activities.

But in my opinion there is actually no need to care too much about what other people say regarding whatever you do, just let them comment on anything because anyway you gamble using your own money which means you don't harm anyone, but on the other hand I think you can only ignore some criticism that is not important or means useless, so in any case it is always recommended to look at or respond to everything rationally because only in this way can you distinguish whether other people's criticism is useful for your good or is something that is not important. 

You will know that you are gradually becoming addicted in whatever thing you do if addiction begins, now how do you know?
Whenever the urge of certain things comes into your mind and you would want to carry it out at cause, at this point you should know that addiction has started showing face in what you are doing what next, just try to control yourself and limit yourself from such things otherwise it could get worsted than expected.

They don't like seeing us playing gambling and worry if we gets the problems from gambling so they will say many things to us, including saying that we can becomes addicted to gambling. If you don't listen to them because you thinks you can take care of yourself while playing gambling, you will not thinks too serious with what their saying. When you can wins from gambling and they heard about that, they will comes to you and some of them will asks for the money and hopes that you will gives some small amount to them. While the other people will say anything about your winning and some of them jealous with what you gets from gambling. If you are not addicted people to gambling, you will not hear what they say because you can prevents yourself from the problems and will not gets deeper in gambling.

A lot of people are like this. gambling portrays such a negative image that it's easy for most people to judge those who are gambling as addicted, thrown-everything-away gamblers. It's understandable though since this kind of hobby has ruined not a few lives. Rich and poor people alike. So casual gamblers like you and me would just opt to keep what we do to certain people who would understand or share the same interest. But I'm not, nor going, to a point where I'd compromise my daily livelihood or my loved ones just to gamble. To each his own, as they say. It's just that the stigma that gambling ruins lives will always be here and a lot of people will say something about it.

Yes I do. I even hide my gambling practices from my family and my partner. I had even promised not to gamble again the last time I lost a large amount of money rage betting. I would have hid it but it was too large to go missing. I too have a social life and is considered as a person who don't like to party or gamble. All the gambling I do are online. There are some friends and colleagues who knows I'm active in gambling as we do talk about where the better odds are provided for sports betting and who might win. There's a few friends who are introduced to online games by myself. Except for them, no other would guess the amount of time and money I lose on gambling.

Not really, whatever they say is a distraction to the fun that I'm getting out of gambling not to mention that when I get the win that's significant, I'm 100% sure that they're the ones that will come back to me and try to ask for some part of the wins or something like that, the big wins don't happen that often but I've done my observation that in those times that I did, they're in there with their palms open asking for alms, it's a really funny feeling that they do this though, the one's who hate on you are the ones that will try to benefit the most from your success. Don't be too hard of hearing about people who says something about your gambling habits though, some of them are right because addicts don't see themselves getting addicted unless someone states it to them to make them realize things.

People love to talk about stuff that does not concerns them, just take a look at how people follow the news of their favorite celebrity with more fervor than most religious people I have ever known, so it is natural that whatever we do that is outside of what people consider normal will be subject to their scrutiny.

So having understood that, we need to take a decision about what to do, and personally I agree with your posture, since I do not really have the time or the energy to care about what every other person may think about what I do, so I just ignore them.

One thing to say with those people that are trying to distract us while we do our own thing, mind their own business.

I don't care a thing they say, am I gambling with their money? am I using their time? No, they don't and that's why I don't care about them and whatever they say upon looking at my activities whether on my laptop or smartphone.

We've got our own lives to deal with and it's too short to be thinking of the welfare of other's activities.

Op sincerely i care a lot about what people will say that is why i prefer online betting to casino houses and some local betting shops. in  estate where i am staying there is this family that i am very close to and i took them as my family friend, the man hates gambling especially football gambling, he always tell his children to emulate from me that i am a good person because i don't gamble not knowing that i am gambling. so to earn that respect from him and his family i often respect myself and place my bets online because i did want the man or anyone close to him to be disappointed because he or she sees me gambling, because i might end up losing the respect from him and his family and by so doing it also helps to regulate my actions from being an addict.

furthermore, you can be handling a big position in your company where other workers see you as a role model, and probably you end up proposing gambling to them, how do you expect them to feel or react about it. Sincerely i consider what people will say before doing anything in the public because i don't know whom my life has changed already or who is looking forward to be like me and they end up disappointed because of unusual side talks , so what people will say matters to me a lot.

the thing is that even control doesn't come in zeros and ones
sometimes we are more vulnerable than other times
if you're tired, sleep deprived or hungry, as an example, your skill on controlling yourself may suffer from your lack of basic needs

but probably there's something we can learn on carrying about other people's opinions or not.

As long you do have the control then it wont really be something an issue but on the time that you are really that putting yourself on such possible trouble then it would be best
that you should really know at least on what are those probability when it comes to outcomes or correlated things to it. Speaking about other peoples sayings or comments then it would really
be that entirely none of their business on what you would gonna do with your money whether you do buy things or getting involved with some activity.
Dont mind about those things because it would really just that disrupt you out and worst it would really be making you stress on something that shouldnt really be.
